TDK, which stands for Title, Description, and Keywords of a webpage, is HTML<head>The three key meta tags. They pass the core information of the page to search engines and users.

  • Title (Title)This is the most important display content in the search results, as well as the text displayed in the browser tab. It directly affects the user's willingness to click and the search engine's judgment on the page theme.
  • Description (Description): Although it does not directly affect ranking, a high-quality description can serve as a summary of search results, attract users to click, and improve click-through rate (CTR).

The design philosophy of AnQiCMS includes SEO-friendly features, it is built-in with a complete TDK management system, allowing us to finely control these important meta tags from global to local.

Global TDK settings: lay the foundation for the website tone

When you first set up a website or want to set a unified SEO tone for the entire website, you can start with the global TDK settings of AnQiCMS.

In the background management interface, you will usually find the 'Background Settings' area, where there is a special option for 'Homepage TDK Settings'. Here, you can configure the TDK information for the website's homepage:

  • Home titleHere, you usually fill in the core brand name or the most core service/product name of your website, which will serve as the homepage<title>the content of the tag.
  • Home page keywordsEnter core keywords highly relevant to your website theme, separated by English commas,Separated.
  • Home page descriptionWrite a concise and clear description that summarizes the overall content and core value of the website. This text is usually used as the abstract in search results.

These global settings mainly take effect on the homepage of the website, laying the foundation for the SEO optimization of the entire website.

Dynamic TDK: Customized SEO information for each content.

The true strength of AnQiCMS lies in its ability to dynamically set TDK, which means you can set unique and most suitable TDK information for each article, category, and even each independent page on the website.This is like putting the most suitable labels on each product to ensure they stand out in the vast sea of search results.

  1. Article (Document) Page: When you publish or edit an article, you will see fields such as 'SEO Title', 'Document Keywords', and 'Document Summary'.

    • SEO titleHere the title will directly be the page of the article<title>Label content. If left blank, the system may automatically use the article title. You can write a unique and attractive title that includes core keywords based on the article content.
    • Document keywordSelect or input the most relevant keywords for the current article, separated by English commas,Separated.
    • Document IntroductionThis is the article page.<meta name="description" ...>Tag content. If left blank, AnQiCMS will automatically extract the first 150 characters from the article content as a description, but this is usually not as accurate or attractive as writing it manually.In addition, in the article editing interface, you can also set the 'Canonical URL', which is very important for dealing with content duplication issues and concentrating page weight.

  2. Category page: When managing and editing categories, similarly, you can also configure exclusive SEO information for each category.

    • SEO title: As the category page's<title>Tag content.
    • Keywords: Choose or enter keywords for the current category page.
    • Category introductionHere is the text that will be used as the category page<meta name="description" ...>Content.

  3. single pageFor independent single pages such as "About Us" and "Contact Us", AnQiCMS also provides a detailed TDK setting entry.

    • SEO titleSet the single page's<title>.
    • KeywordsAdd keywords to the single page.
    • Single page introductionAs a single page.<meta name="description" ...>Content.

Flexibly call TDK tags in the template.

After setting up the background TDK information, the next step is to correctly reference them in the front-end template, so that browsers and search engines can crawl this information. AnQiCMS provides a powerful "Universal TDK Tag"{% tdk %}making this task very convenient.

You just need to use the template file (usually)head.htmlorbase.htmllocated in the HTML's<head>area) to dynamically output TDK information in the following way:

  • Page Title (Title):

    <title>{% tdk with name="Title" siteName=true sep="-" %}</title>

    here,name="Title"Tell the system that you want to get the page title.siteName=trueMeans that the global name of the website is automatically appended to the title,sep="-"It defines the separator between the title and the website name, you can set it to other characters according to your preference, such as_or|. If the current page is a category page and you want to include the name of the parent category in the title, you can also addshowParent=true.

  • Page Keywords (Keywords):

    <meta name="keywords" content="{% tdk with name="Keywords" %}">

    This label will output the keywords of the current page.

  • Page Description (Description):

    <meta name="description" content="{% tdk with name="Description" %}">

    This label will output the description content of the current page.

  • Standard Link (Canonical URL): To avoid outputting empty tags for the standard link, we usually check if it exists first and then output it:

    {%- tdk canonical with name="CanonicalUrl" %}
{%- if canonical %}
<link rel="canonical" href="{{canonical}}" />
{%- endif %}

    here,{%-and-%}Is a special syntax of AnQiCMS template engine, used to remove whitespace on both sides of the tag to ensure that the generated HTML code is cleaner.

In this way, AnQiCMS will automatically call the corresponding TDK settings based on the type of page visited by the user (home page, article page, category page, single page, etc.)If a specific page does not set TDK, the system will also intelligently backtrack to the parent category or global settings to ensure that each page has default SEO information.
